Adjourned Meeting No. 2 - June 18, 1990
President Selby arrived - 8:15 P.M.
N° 3554
A Hearing on the Proposed Street Name Changes for allowance of the
5th Street Extension.
Wishing to be heard was Jeff Coon of 731 Reichel Circle Stewartville
He speaks on behalf of the businesses in the area of the proposed
name changes - he presented a petition which contained 10 names
in opposition. He stated that the businesses have business cards
printed, signs made, advertising done that reflect the current
address. This would cost money to change and he is not in favor
of this project. Alderman Canfield stated that he is surprised
that the businesses would object because it should bring them in
more business in a long run if proper signs direct traffic by
their establishments.
Alderman Bluhm stated that Mr. Coon had a point, another type of
sign directing traffic to the Civic Center should do it without
changing an actual address. Alderman Strain agreed with Canfield.
Mr. Roger Plumb, Public Services Dir. stated that Mn/DOT does not
like to put up more than one sign directing traffic. He recommends
changing the signs as proposed. Projected traffic is having the
figure double by the year 2000 and this is needed to keep traffic
flow running smoothly.
